off season training

whats the best things i can do this summer just to help with the basics? i was thinking about making some sliding shoes. and maybe buying a skating rail...like a real one, so in the winter i can actually practice at a small hill rather than going to the mountain. im too poor for a camp. or to get a tramp.

ya, tramp, diving board gives you the sort of forward motion like off a jump, mountain biking is good for balance and getting some nerves to do shit, cause if you'd do it on dirt and rock, there's no reason not to on snow
Seize the carp

yah lets be realistic, not many people have access to water ramps. anyhow, get like a summer pass at a pool, and hit up the diving boards and towers. and figure out who has a tramp near you and become friends with them.

my friend has a tramp and i want to jump on it so bad but i have pysical therapy for my fucked up knees and they told me not to jump on a tramp but i couldnt resist and my knees were hurting.
But if i could i would jump on that thing all day.

My friend has this quarry right near his house which is protected by the cops (so only his family/friends can go), and were gonna make a water ramp into it. The rocks are only like 20 feet high, but rollerblading that shit is gonna be so hot.

i usually hit up a quarry with like 25 foot cliffs here in ottawa, but some guy died there a week ago, and another guy died in a quarry around here yesterday, so im guessing that the cops wont let us go into them anymore. but that hasnt stopped me before, so...

im planning on skating and biking more to keep fit. i have a balance board, those ones shaped like skateboards. they really help my skating. will they help with skiing at all, even though its shaped like a board? im thinking if you put your feet parallell with each other, its like riding skis. i gotta find some people with tramps. my mom wont let me get one :\

it will help your balnce, with everything. thats why they call it a balance board
i hate posers. thanx to harvey and all who contribute to the site for makin it so kick ass. the world is my very own pot party.

mountain biking like people said develops some balls, but as bad as it sounds fruit booting! I've talked to some really good skiiers who did it in the past and now KILL rails so Its always an option
